Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen passed away at age 96, which means various royals will have their titles changed as Prince Charles becomes King.

Traditionally, The Duke of Cornwall is held by the British monarch’s eldest son and heir to the throne, with the Duke’s wife taking the Duchess title.
Due to the British line of succession, the Queen’s death has marked the ascension for her son, who now leaves behind his princely title and Duke of Cornwall title to become King Charles III.

However this title will not be automatically changed, but it must be placed upon William and his wife by his father, King Charles III.
King Charles III held the Prince of Wales title prior to his mother’s death in the early hours of Friday morning, Australian time. He was additionally known as the Duke of Rothesay while in Scotland.
